Temple of Amun at the Luxor & Karnak Temples

Karnak Temple is a vast complex consisting of three main
temples, several smaller enclosed temples, and a number of outer
temples. The most spectacular of these is the Temple of
Amun (Amun's Precinct).

Avenue of the Sphinxes

Temple of Amun at the Karnak Temples is entered via the
Avenue of the Sphinxes that once connected Karnak
and Luxor Temples and leads through the ancient city of Thebes,
Egypt's capital during the period of the Middle and New
Kingdoms.

Hypostyle Hall

The Karnak Temples complex was built over a period of 1300 years
and includes several of the finest examples of ancient Egyptian
design and architecture. Among them are the Hypostyle
Hall, considered one of the world's great
architectural achievements with around 130 enormous carved
columns covering an area of 6000 sq metres (64,586 sq ft), and the
Obelisk of Thutmose I, a 22m (71ft) monument, the
only one of four original obelisks that is still standing at the
Karnak Temples.

Docking at the Nile River destinations of Luxor, Esna, Edfu, Kom
